# setNeedsUpdateOfSupportedInterfaceOrientations()

Notifies the view controller about a change in supported interface orientations or preferred interface orientation for presentation.

```
func setNeedsUpdateOfSupportedInterfaceOrientations()
```

## Discussion

By default, this method animates any changes to orientation. To perform a nonanimated update, call this method from [`performWithoutAnimation(_:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UIView/performWithoutAnimation(_:)).
